Have you always been curious about overtones and guttural singing? During this special weekend workshop, you will learn the techniques behind these vocal arts in a relaxed and inspiring setting. We would like to welcome you to make music together, learn and also enjoy the rich Mongolian culture.
The program in a nutshell
On Saturday, we welcome you with a cup of traditional Mongolian milk tea at 1pm. The first workshop starts around 2 p.m., where you'll discover the basics of overtones and throat singing. After a delicious Mongolian dinner, the second workshop follows in the evening. Afterwards, there is time to relax, play music or, in good weather, enjoy an atmospheric campfire.
On Sunday morning, we start with a typical Mongolian breakfast, followed by a walk on our neighbor's beautiful estate, where the third workshop takes place (or inside, in case of worse weather). After lunch, we'll end the afternoon with a final workshop to bring together and deepen everything you've learned.
A weekend of music, culture and inspiration!

Rowan Hartsuiker
Host @ Altai
Rowan raakte op 17-jarige leeftijd, rond 2006, in de ban van de muziek uit Mongolië. Al snel reisde hij naar Mongolië om het land en de cultuur verder te ontdekken. Sindsdien zijn de Mongoolse muziek en tradities een onlosmakelijk deel van zijn dagelijks leven geworden. In 2014 trouwde hij met Saran, en samen werken ze sindsdien aan hun droom: het delen van de Mongoolse cultuur en muziek in Nederland via hun concept Altai.
